Emmanuel Ledesma, who probed down the right side throughout the game, fired the red side into the lead with a beautifully crafted curling strike from outside the box.

Vossen's diving header pulled the blues level, but Lee Tomlin and Kike - who had swapped sides at half-time - scored in the second half to complete a 3-1 victory.

Aitor Karanka and his coaching staff watched on from pitch side along with Jonathan Woodgate, who took part in a light training session on his own at the end of the training game as he recovers from injury.
